In this intimate solo episode, I share what’s been unfolding in my body and heart lately — and how life (and a stomach bug) recently forced me to slow all the way down.
What started as physical discomfort became an unexpected initiation into presence — one that mirrored everything I’ve been needing to feel, face, and hold in this season of grief, transition, and deep energetic shift.
When I pulled the card Ayahuasca from my new oracle deck (The Herbal Astrology Oracle by Adriana Ayales) I immediately felt it -- a deep knowing: you're about to surrender and you have no choice.
I take you briefly through visiting my dad as he continues to decline in health, and the grief and emotional weight of navigating end-of-life tasks with my sister. Being with my mom during this time — and witnessing her stress, sadness, and constant movement — gave me a clear mirror of my own patterns… and a moment of co-regulation that changed us both.
This episode is about slowing down not because it’s easy — but because it’s necessary.
TL;DR:
✨ The energetic wake-up of a stomach bug
✨ The symbolism of the Ayahuasca oracle card
✨ Grieving in real time and being present with my dad
✨ Co-regulation with my mom and the ripple effect of stillness
✨ Why slowing down is often the thing we most resist — and most need
If you’re moving through a season of grief, overwhelm, or transition… this one’s for you. Take a breath. Let’s go slow.
